Thank you for explaining that word. The poem is well written and lists many common fears. The acrostic style is well done. Great job!

Thanks for the review. I cannot imagine having such a phobia. I thought watching the clock until midnight would be funny. Chers, j

I always enjoyed Halloween. In fact, I was married on Halloween. My birthday is the day after. It's a shame that children can't go trick or treating anymore.

Hallowe'en was such a fun time when I was young. I remember those UNICEF boxes we used to collect coins for a good cause. Kids don't go door to door any more? It seems all the activities that really built a child's character are disappearing. Exploring the woods on bikes, sleep overs, hallowe'en, even gym class seem to have been replaced with 'safer' options. sigh Thanks for the review, cheers, j

OUCH! That sounds extremely painful to me, Anonymous Poet. Imploding hearts and exploding minds?
Not a good time at all!
And here I always thought Halloween was all about having fun.
Go figure...
Best of luck to you in the Halloween Acrostic Poetry contest.
Your poem rhymes very well and you've managed to incorporate a nice, smooth, even tempo.

Thanks for the review Dean. I was trying to make it Poe esque. This is as scary as I get. Cheers, j
